It's a bleeding Dinah Shore song. BUt I aint got no idea what's she's on about.

my mom used to make shoo fly pie. it's delicious...

Shoo Fly Pie and Apple Pandowdy. The song by Dinah Shore was one of the best selling records of 1946. Lately a new generation has been introduced to the catchy tune, due to its use in a popular Lexus TV commercial. But unlike their older music loving counterparts, most of today's kids have never had the pleasure of eating these two old fashioned desserts that Dinah just "couldn't get enough of."

Shoo Fly Pie is a traditional Pennsylvania Dutch dessert. Brown sugar, molasses, shortening, salt, and spices were all non-perishable ingredients that could survive the long ocean's crossing to America made by German immigrants. The pie's unusual name is said to be due to the fact that pies were traditionally set to cool on windowsills, and due to the sweet ingredients, the cook would constantly have to shoo the flies away.

Apple Pandowdy is one of a family of simple desserts, known in different parts of the world as cobblers, duffs, grunts, slumps and pandowdies. These desserts have subtle variations, but the base of all of them is fruit baked with a sweet biscuit or cake dough top.

The exact origin of the name Pandowdy is unknown, but it is thought to refer to the dessert's plain or "dowdy" appearance. Looks can be deceiving, apple pandowdy is delicious, especially topped with a bit of ice cream or whipped cream. Both these desserts are super easy to make, yet win rave reviews from diners. Try some tonight. Your dinner guests just won't be able to get enough of that wonderful stuff!

I actually recognise apple pan dowdy from the description. My mom used to make those too!

I'm I the only one who wants a Apple Pandowdy now?
